I see what they tried to do, but...
It's executed poorly. Especially for younger kids, it's not that interesting. My seven-year-old, who likes most nature and science shows was kind of bored and I could see why. Firstly, as a former producer, I hated the narration. It sounds like sped-up slurred speech. It's unclear, mostly monotone, and someone else should be doing the speaking. Not everyone who has good ideas is a good presenter. Sorry, Charlie Engelman. Please slow down and enunciate. Also, I don't really want my seven-year-old speaking like a pre-teen yet, saying things like "that's sick," or "pretty legit." Sorry, dudes. I see that they're trying to make the show accessible for a wider audience by using teen slang, but focusing on better narration would have helped more with this. As a science teacher in the present, if I lectured in this same style in a public school classroom (and this show did feel a lot like watching lectures) I would lose the attention of most of the kids in a short time. Also, forget about your words being understood by most kids who aren't native English speakers. It's just OK, if your kid is American, a native English speaker, and a bit older.
